   Nonono... I don't think that... :-) You're configuration is ok if your clients   
   are using active ftp connections to your BBBS system. But actually, all the   
   current ftp/http clients are using passive connections by default. Then, your   
   BBBS responses are in passive mode (without use of ports 20 and 21) but your   
   firewall/router don't forward the needed ports (1025 and above (unused)).   
      
   As BBBS can't configure a port range for that, I must set all unused ports for   
   forwarding the passive responses from BBBS' ftp to router/fw and back.   
      
      
    JK> Glad it worked for you :)   
      
   You can do it. I'm sure. ;-)
